Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will be restored to its original condition in no time!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with normal usage. While it’s possible to see something with a torch, it’s not common to use one when you’re using the sink as intended. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How durable is a sink repair?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen within the first 12 months. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
